The Constitutional Dictatorship of Peatiktist is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mme Boss with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 18.51 billion Peatiktistians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kurgh. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Peatiktistian economy, worth a remarkable 1,998 trillion Peats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,943 Peats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young men find it hard to engage in their favourite topic of study with their parents looking over their shoulder, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, and citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peatiktist's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wheelism.

Peatiktist is ranked 57,704^th in the world and 640^th in The East Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 107,943.12 Standard Monetary Units.
